Gasunie charters floating LNG terminal
22 March 2022
Together with the Dutch government, Gasunie is exploring ways to ramp up the Netherlands’ LNG import capacity in the short term. The first concrete step in this direction is a floating LNG terminal at Eemshaven in Groningen province, for which Gasunie has now signed a charter with Belgium’s Exmar.
LNG imports can help reduce dependency on Russian gas. Besides this floating LNG terminal, the possibility of expanding capacity at Gate terminal in Rotterdam is also on the table. On Friday 18 March, Belgium’s Exmar group announced a deal that will see Gasunie charter Exmar’s floating LNG terminal for a period of five years. The vessel, which will be moored at Eemshaven, will be used to store and regasify LNG (liquefied natural gas) for injection into the gas network. This floating terminal will enable the Netherlands to ramp up its natural gas imports by between 4 and 5 billion cubic metres on an annual basis.
